“I worked hard for Georgia to get EU candidate status, and it makes me sad,” wrote German Ambassador to Georgia, Peter Fischer, on the X Platform.
“If you’re a country that wants to join the EU and you get a sentence from Kaja Kallas (High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy) like the one highlighted below, and agrees, which it does, then you have a problem. I worked hard for Georgia to get EU candidate status, and it makes me sad,” he said.
Kaja Kallas wrote: “The brutal crackdown on peaceful protesters, journalists and politicians tonight in Tbilisi is unacceptable. Georgia falls short of any expectation from a candidate country. The EU stands with the people of Georgia in their fight for freedom and democracy.”
